Taka Update October 12, 2017

Tuna supply is OK OK in October. Hard to get blue fin or big eye tuna. I just get Yellow fin tuna. Uni is Maine is most. I get California uni sometimes but I do not like its quality and the price.

Scallop is back to normal. It is from live from Boston area.

I finish to sell Anago, sea eel from Japan. It is hard to sell this fish. Most pf people like Unagi, fresh water eel.

Sujiko , fresh salmon roe comes every 2 weeks from Alaska and people like this.

I will get fresh wild caught Buri, adult size of Hamachi, yellow tail. This is going to be next Thursday.

I am trying to buy something new.

November 1st is Annual Sushi Day.

It comes again. Our National Sushi Day. But many people don’t know it. November is good month for eating raw fish because temperature is down and fish get fat more inside. It means fish taste is better. So Japanese sushi association decides November 1st is Sushi Day.

It is dinner only event, you can get 30% off all sushi items, sashimi, sushi and rolls. Enjoy and celebrate National Sushi Day!

An early ecological study showing a significant inverse correlation between per capita fish consumption, that is, primary dietary sources of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and 1-year prevalence of depression1 created new interest in the link between depression and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). One meta-analysis found low peripheral levels of n-3 PUFAs, EPA and DHA in patients with depression compared with controls.2 In addition, the magnitude of the effect size of differences in the levels of n-3 PUFAs was larger in analyses restricted to studies that used DSM criteria for major depressive disorder (MDD). Several recent meta-analyses of clinical trials indicated that n-3 PUFA supplementation has a beneficial effect in patients with depression3, 4, 5, 6 and showed that EPA-predominant formulations are more efficacious than placebo for the treatment of DSM-diagnosed MDD.6 The therapeutic mechanism of n-3 PUFAs remains unclear, but it is assumed that n-3 PUFAs have diverse neurobiological activities related to immunomodulation, anti-inflammation, neurotransmission and neuroprotection, contributing to their anti-depressive effects.7 Read more? http://www.nature.com/tp/journal/v7/n9/full/tp2017206a.html?foxtrotcallback=true
